Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bentley Heath, Solihull
Local bath resealing for Bentley Heath: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath resealing in Bentley Heath, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bentley Heath and across Solihull.

Common questions in Bentley Heath
How much does bath resealing cost in Bentley Heath?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Resealing in Bentley Heath: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
